PunctiliouS-

A gentleman in a suburban town went
out to call upon lady whose family occupied
oLe-half of a double house. The front doors
Of the two parts opened upor the same steop.
at one Of the doors the gentleman pulled the
bell. The door was opened by servant,
who answered the inquiry for Mrs s. by
directing the caller to the other door.
The visitor then turned to the bell pull on
the adjacent docr-post, and in few moments
that door was opened hy the same servant,
who solemnly replied to the second inquiry
regarding Mrs. s. by saying that the lady
was not at home.
This incident is matched by another that
took place in Vienna-rather more than
matched, in fact, for the person who played
two parts in the comedy had a special mood
and temper in each part
'My friend was in VIENNA says a traveller.
He had taken from here letter of credit on
to draw on it. So he sought the agency of
the bank in Vienna lie walked into an Of
flee which had a barricade in front Of long
desk and two small holes cut for the conven-
fence of customers He walked up to the
first Of them. A man came up. He handed
the letter Of credit to him The man looked
at it and said, very grutly, Next window
My friend went to the next window, a
man came up, took his letter Of credit, looked
at it, smiled pleasantly and said, THAT'S all
right How much do you wish to draw sir?

An Interesting Scran Book.

Asrap book may be made thing of beauty
that will put to shame the rarest of editions
de ln1e Only the practiced inlayer of plates
should undertake its preparation to insure
this result, but, in its diversity of theme and
treatment, it has more general interest than
the biography or book of criticism that is the
usual subject for pictorial enlargement
Travellers scrap books are especially enter
tanning. One young gentleman made rum
ming record Of his foreign tour in letters to
bis "folks" that he sprinkled with pen
sketches, and bound into volume on his re-
turn. A wealthy gentleman in Brooklyn, who
travels far and often, makes pictorial record
of each trip in the form Of a book, or books,
filed with photographs Of places and things
that he has seen His last journey among the
effete despoisns is memortalized in three
Dortly volumes, bound in crimson morocco,
end containing, In the order Of their viewing,

Another tourist made q history of his.
European travels In letters to newspapers,
and these letters have been clipped out and
interspersed with 400 illustrations and ad-
denda carefully inlaid, some Of the smaller
pictures serving as tail pieces to the letters
The illustrations embrace photographs,
photogravures, Autographs, wood cuts,
stchings, steel engravings, pen and pencil
drawings, and represent distinguished people
who were seen and celebrated pictures in the
museums, as well as places Of scenic and his

the place Of burial being known only to
her. The family prospered and Lot
needing the money it was left undis-
turbed and Mrs. Shenafeld died with

In Rerard To ErnlnRfYes.

The prevailing opinions in regard TO explo-
sives are, in the main, incorrect Tho state
ment that the main force Of a dynamite ex-
plosion is downward will go uncontradioted
in almost any company that has not given
explosives special attention. But, In fact,
there is no shooting upward or downward
or edgeways with one explosive more than
with another. They all explode alike, and
the variety Of effect is caused by the differ
ence in their power-that is, the rapidity
with which they explode. The explosive
power of powder, which, Of all explosives, is
best understood is about 10 900 pounds to the
square inch, and other explosives are meas
ured as being a given number of times
stronger or weaker than powder. The force
of that explosive is generally believed to be
upwald d, when, in fact, it is equal in all direc-
tions But it burns slow enough to allow the
air to get out of the way.
Dynamite, on the other hand, sxplodes SO
rapidly the air cannot be displaced In time 30
prevent its force downward being much
greater in proportion than that of powder.
1t is because dynamite will break a stone be-
meath it that the people think its greatest
power is in that direction. To prove that 1t
is not, suspend large stene in the air and
suspend the dynamite charge to the under
side OF it The work Of destruction will be
as complete as though the stone had been
underneath

THE CROWN PRINCES VICTORY.
How the Prussian Forces Defeated ths
Austrians in the War of 1866.

How the Prussian Forces Defeated the
Austrians in the War of 1896,
On the sd OF June Prince Frederick Charles
crossed the Austrian frontier, and six days
later he was joined by the Army Of the Elbe
They were at Gittschin. On his left the
crown prince, with his army, was at Koenig-
inhof, a days march away, while the Aus
trians had retired in Koeniggratz, ready for
battle The plan Of attack was very simple.
Prince Frederick Charles, with his three
corps, was TO assault Benedeck with his five,
while Bitten6eld was to fall upon the left
flank Of the Austrians and the crown prince
attack their right. But the crown prince
was twenty-fiv miles away, and it was 4 in
the morning before Col Won Frankenstein,
after terrible ride, arrived at the crown
princes headquarters with the kings COM
mand to join Prince Frederick Charles
The battle began at O'Clock in the morn
ing, the king, Moltke and Bismarck being on
the field The needle gun worked terrible
havoc among the devoted battalions Of Aus
tria, but they kept their ground, and for q
long time the scales Of battle hung pretty
evenly. For time it seemed indeed Gs II
victory would rest on the standards Of tie
Hapsbures, and the Prussians looked for the
coming Of the crown prince as eagerly as
Wellington had once looked for the coming
of Blucner.
"Would to God the crown prince would

glasses and drew attention to certain lines In

Journalism Is for the Y.cnnnr-

The prominent figures here at the heads of
the great metropolitan journals are, almost
without exception, men in their prime. Ben
nett is very little, if any, more than 40. Pu-
liter hasn't gray hair in his head. White
law Reid is in about the same luster with
both of these. Dana is old, but Amos Cum
mings, who edits The Evening Sun and is
really the moving spirit there, is still a young
man. George Jones is not yet past his prime.
John CockeriIl is still young, and Eggleston,
who edits The Commercial Advertiser, is
grizzled about the temples, but still on the
right side Of the hill, and his staff are all very
young men. The editor of the new Evening
World, which sprang into such instant popu-
larity, is a young fellow who was scribbling
at the reporters desk three years ago and is
not yet 80. The same may be said Of the
magazines. The clever new Scribner has an
entire staff of young men. The Century has
not an old man connected with it, and Alden
is the only elderly person who is in power on
Harper's. Journalism is for the young and
not for the old. The genius of the profession
requires it.-New York Cor Brooklyn Eagle.

air was Of that kind that makes you wonder
how you ever condescended to breathe any

valescing consumptive to me the other day,

The speaker was apoor man who had made
many sacrifices to come down from the north,
and who could not modify or remove any of
these 'cusses' as person with money might
have done.

you are.

her mother was toiling in the kitchen and
looking after three little children a. the ssms
time Perhaps your mother has servants in
the kitchen, but you can lend her hand all
the same. You can find place to help BROTH

body in the house by your patient, kind,
obliging spirit, Sin honor preferring one an>
other self forgetfnl and mindful OF others.
1t seems very little thing to lend a hand

see the record the angels make of such a day,
